Lemon Butter and Poppy Seed Popcorn

by Nancy

Change up popcorn in a good way.

Have you ever had one of those times when you’re looking for a snack in the pantry, and nothing sounds good, until you spot the popcorn?

It’s so great to have on hand when a snack is in order because it’s quick and easy to make.

And popcorn kernels are the perfect pantry item because they keep nicely in a sealed jar.

About this Recipe

Popcorn generally involves butter for me, but I do love to change the flavor up a bit.

This version of buttered popcorn also has fresh lemon juice in the mix.

It tastes wonderful because of the slight bitterness from the lemon in combination with the butter and salt.

It’s kind of like vinegar potato chips with a sour bite that has you coming back for more.

And the poppy seeds are an added bonus which adds a slight nutty taste.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Popped popcorn, butter, fresh lemon juice, poppy seeds and salt

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Butter and Fresh Lemon Juice:

Start off by making the lemon butter.

I snuck in one of the lemons from a tree that I have called a pink lemonade lemon.

It’s of course the one with the green stripes.

It looks just like a regular lemon inside, only it has a pink tint to it.

And to me it tastes like a regular lemon too.

Heat a small skillet or pot on low heat…

…and add butter.

Stir as the butter melts and add lemon juice.

Continue to stir until the butter is completely melted.

Lemon Butter, and Poppy Seed Toppings:

drizzle the melted lemon butter on top.

Top with poppy seeds.

Salt:

Add salt to taste.

Serve:

For best results…

…serve right away so…

…the popcorn doesn’t get soggy.
